In today's world I think it is impossible for parents to try and shut out or remove technology from their lives and homes in an attempt to protect their children. It is true that many degrading and destructive things can be found online. However there are so many productive things made available because of technology that has become readily available to everyone without much effort. It is a parents responsibility to raise and teach their children. If a parent is able to understand the technology his children are using then he will be able to talk with them about its uses. Parents should not be shocked to learn their children have become exposed to bad things online or on their phones. It is going to happen, no matter how hard parents try to avoid it. However, parents can use these moments to talk with their children and teach them. But that only is possible they understand the technology their children use. Parents need to adjust to the world of ever changing technology, but that does not mean change the importance of talking with and teaching their children.
